Playing files over ftp

[gigicarlo]

Hi there..

its my first post..

i just have one little question about playing files over ftp .. is there a special syntax ?

or something i have to consider about passwords ?

The same syntax that i use within a webbrowser does not work for me


any ideas ?

please give a real exemple, and look at vlc messages (menu view -> messages)

well its simple .. i mean the real example.

i have a NETWORK drive connected to my airport express, it has an integrated FTP server- so i can access it via wireless with the local adress

ftp://luigi:none/192.168.2.113/mathmos_mov/Kitchen_Stories/KITCHEN_STORIES.mp4

for example

"none" is the password...

you can try the same from "outside" with the domain name that is mentioned in the error bug.

Neither on XP or MAC OS Tiger..it plays back the file...

With commandline-mplayer it no problem..so it cannot be a NAT or Port or Firewall-thing....

Below the error log (Mac OS X)

// OK this should go in the Mac Forum, but right now i am at work with my Macbook.... but i will switch to XP lateron

Thanks

Luigi

I have similar troubles playing files over FTP (.ts/.rec). VLC will play a small file (<2 gb), but not until the file is completly transfered from FTP. Larger files will not play a tall. If I instead start copying the file from ftp to local HDD, then I can start playing the copied file when i'm still transfering (from cache)... Is this correct behavior

the syntax for FTP is :

Code: Select all

ftp://luigi:none@192.168.2.113/mathmos_mov/Kitchen_Stories/KITCHEN_STORIES.mp4
